Christians Under Attack: Terrifying Surge of Church Arsons in Canada, Nearly 100 Torched as Leaders Justify and Cheer the Destruction (Video)

In a detailed and harrowing piece titled “Canada: Nearly 100 Churches Torched, Four during Christmas, 2023,” published on January 25, 2024, by Raymond Ibrahim, an alarming trend of hostility towards Christianity in Canada is chronicled. Ibrahim reports that approximately 100 churches across Canada have been subjected to vandalism, arson, or desecration in the last two-and-a-half years, a figure that starkly contrasts the peaceful and tolerant image often associated with the nation.

This surge in anti-Christian actions began to gain significant attention after the initial wave of arson during the summer of 2021, with the numbers having since climbed to 96 amid a backdrop of seeming indifference or implicit approval from authorities.

The article delves into the background of these attacks, highlighting the narrative pushed by mainstream Canadian media that links these acts to the discovery of unmarked graves of indigenous children at residential boarding schools. The media and some public figures have accused the Catholic Church of heinous acts against these children, suggesting a sinister cover-up (see here and here). Ibrahim, however, challenges this narrative, pointing to evidence and scholarly research indicating that these graves were known and that the children likely died of natural causes amidst epidemics common in the early 1800s.

Jeff Fynn-Paul’s work, “Not Stolen: The Truth About European Colonialism in the New World,” is cited to further debunk the misconceptions surrounding the purpose and legacy of these boarding schools. Despite the counter-evidence, far-left radicals have seized on the narrative to justify targeting Catholic and other Christian communities, leading to a wave of church burnings.

Ibrahim also addresses the troubling responses from influential left-wing Canadian figures and leaders. Notably, Harsha Walia, who was the then head of British Columbia’s Civil Liberties Association, infamously tweeted, ‘Burn it all down,” a sentiment echoed by other Canadian leaders and even tacitly understood, if not condoned, by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. Such reactions reveal a deep-seated bias and a worrying trend of justifying violence against Christian institutions under the guise of fighting historical injustices.

The Royal Canadian Mounted Police’s statement that there is no evidence linking the church arsons to anti-Christian animus only adds to the controversy, especially in light of a Coptic church’s arson. This incident underscores that the attacks are not just targeted but indicative of a broader disdain for Christianity itself, irrespective of the churches’ direct connections to the residential school system’s controversies.

Ibrahim’s article paints a grim picture of the current state of religious tolerance in Canada, suggesting a sinister alliance between radical leftists and radical Muslims united in their hostility towards Christianity. This trend, once more commonly associated with regions known for religious persecution, now marks a disturbing shift in Canadian society’s fabric, challenging the nation’s values of diversity and tolerance.

A few weeks ago, Ibrahim shed light on the disturbing trend of church arsons in Canada during his appearance on ‘The Frontline with Joe & Joe.’ To delve deeper into this critical issue, watch the following video. It provides insightful commentary and analysis on the events that have been unfolding:

Ibrahim’s exploration into these events is not just a chronicle of arson but a call to acknowledge and address the profound disdain for Christianity that has found a troubling foothold in Canada.
